I'm living next to the Vaal for 53 years. In 1975 the Vaal level was +- 10m higher than normal. So that was the indicator/mark/level the Vaal gave us. Throughout the years,people never kept it in mind: not developers, agents,etc. Up to now, still people argue that the dam levels will be controlled to prevent the previous ('75) situation. Developers and estate agents stíll ignore warnigs. In person,I warned people. Still,they just carried on. People are blaming Water Affairs? No, not their fault. Open your ears; listen to the elderly....

Jy is reg Frans. I still remember the 1975 flood. The new developers and agents know who to pay and how much to bypass regulations about flood levels.

Well when the dam was build it was said how far up the water level could go if in flood but people and councils did not adhere to this so allowed buildings to go ahead .Money talks .
